Chapter 359 The Upper Realm, Qionghua Islands
The upper realm, the Qionghua Islands.
The once clear blue sea suddenly became filled with lightning and thunder, and countless monsters and birds were frightened and scattered.
With a deafening roar, a portal to the void opened in the sky, and a dazzling light illuminated the entire sea area.
After the light faded, a colossal creature slowly descended and landed steadily on the wide island below.
Such an earth-shattering scene naturally attracted nearby cultivators, who all flew over on their swords to try and find out more.
The first group to arrive saw the corpses scattered all over the stone steps of the mountain gate. They pointed to the stone wall not far away and said, "Hey, that's strange, it's actually a sect."
Following his pointing finger, everyone saw the words "Peach Blossom Valley" carved on the rock wall at the mountain gate.
"Peach Blossom Valley? What kind of power is this that can afford to use such a large-scale sect relocation formation?"
As far as they knew, the larger the area of the relocation formation, the more resources and spirit stones it would consume.
Besides, they had never seen anyone move their entire family's ancestral home and even the surrounding mountains when they moved. Wasn't that just throwing money away?
"Judging from this situation, it looks like a major battle has taken place," said a female cultivator in brocade robes. "They're probably fleeing here."
The leading male cultivator in fine clothes nodded, looking at the corpses scattered on the ground. Judging from their robes, they clearly didn't belong to the same faction. "It looks like a siege..."
The female cultivator in brocade robes agreed, "That's right, and the cultivation levels of these people are all so low. There are so many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, and the highest level is only Nascent Soul stage."
"How about... we go in and take a look?" At this moment, the leading man in fine clothes raised an eyebrow, a greedy glint in his eyes. "Maybe it's just an empty hall. What benefits could we possibly gain?"
Although everyone hesitated for a moment, they still agreed to the suggestion to go, since the fact that such a huge relocation formation could be activated meant that it contained a lot of wealth.
The group quickly reached an agreement and quietly sneaked towards the mountaintop.
Just as the group infiltrated, the people of Peach Blossom Valley in front of the main hall were completely unaware of the impending danger, having only just recovered from the dizziness caused by the teleportation.
"Where am I?" Xiao Huan slumped to the ground, his face ashen, looking extremely unwell. "I'm so dizzy, I feel like throwing up..."
"Is everyone alright?" Yu Qianling rubbed her dizzy head and noticed that her master was enveloped in vines and being infused with vibrant life force. "Master, how are you?!"
At this moment, Ming Cang was pale and his eyes were closed, offering no response whatsoever.
Yu Qianling's anxious voice brought everyone back to their senses. Everyone had witnessed Bai Wan using a demonic weapon to harm the sect leader, and Ye Luo and Cen Feng were also present...
Everything happened so fast that their minds were still in a mess, and they had no idea what was going on.
They all turned to look at Jian Yu, and at Lan Ruyan, whose face was deathly pale, wanting them to give an explanation.
Seeing the puzzled and suspicious looks in everyone's eyes, Jian Yu explained, "I... I don't know what happened either. Why would Bai Wan do that? Please believe us!"
Lan Ruyan said in a trembling voice, "Yes, we really didn't know..."
Yu Qianling: "You really don't know?"
Jian Yu and Lan Ruyan nodded. At this moment, Yu Xian'er sighed, "Calm down, this matter should have nothing to do with them."
Just as she finished speaking and was about to check her master's pulse, she heard a man's voice in her ear, "You don't need to check anymore, I have already stabilized his injuries."
The sudden appearance of the green-robed man startled everyone. Yu Qianling stepped forward warily and asked, "Who are you...?"
Fu Yun looked at the crowd in silence, then suddenly glanced at the distance and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"You must be Senior Fuyun?" At this moment, Xiao Huan remembered Ye Luo's words and, seeing everyone looking at him with suspicion, explained, "He is that Spirit Eye Tree, which is our lineage..."
"ah?"
"The lineage!"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Just as they were about to ask something, they suddenly heard Fu Yun coldly shout, "Have you seen enough?"
Yu Qianling and Yu Xuan exchanged a glance, then stepped in front of the crowd and said coldly, "Get out here!"
Upon hearing the reprimand, the group of people hidden in the shadows emerged. The leader, a man in fine clothes, clasped his hands and chuckled, "Fellow Daoists, please don't be angry. We just happened to be passing by and have no ill intentions towards you."
Yu Qianling sized up these uninvited guests. They all looked very young, and almost all of them were Nascent Soul cultivators. Among them were several Deity Transformation cultivators, which shocked her.
Who exactly are you?
The leading man in fine clothes chuckled and said, "We are members of the Jade Glory Immortal Clan."
"The Jade Glory Immortal Clan?" Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan's face showed surprise, and suddenly his heart tightened as he hurriedly asked, "Where is this place?"
The cultivators exchanged glances, scrutinized Yu Xuan for a moment, and then replied, "This is the Qionghua Islands. Does this fellow Daoist not know this?"
"Qionghua Islands?" Xiao Huan felt the name sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it. Suddenly, his face was filled with astonishment. "This...this is the Qionghua Islands?! Does that mean we're in the Upper Realm?!"
"The Upper Realm?!"
The people of Peach Blossom Valley were instantly dumbfounded. They never expected that this ancient teleportation array would actually send them all to the upper realm. This was simply too unbelievable!
Seeing their surprise, the leading man in fine clothes narrowed his eyes slightly, "May I ask where you fellow Daoists come from, and why you have suddenly settled here?"
"No comment, please leave!" At this moment, Yu Xuan's face darkened, and he began to dismiss them, no longer displaying his usual gentle demeanor.
Upon hearing this, the smiles on their faces vanished, and their spiritual energy surged, unleashing a murderous aura. "Hmph, what if we don't leave?"
Seeing that those people had revealed their true colors, Yu Qianling naturally didn't give them a pleasant look. He held his spear horizontally in front of him and shouted angrily, "Get lost!"
"You think you can beat us?" One of the female cultivators in brocade robes stepped forward, looked Yu Qianling up and down, and sneered, "A bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Do you think you can be our match? I advise you to hand over your treasures quickly, and we will spare your lives."
Yu Qianling's face turned serious. If she were alone, it would be fine; she could just rush forward and fight them without a care. But now that her master was still seriously injured and her senior brother and the others were not around, she had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting everyone.
She gripped the gun tightly, suppressing her killing intent. "Fellow Daoist, to be honest, our sect relocation cost a fortune, and we're almost out of spirit stones. Where would we possibly find any treasures?"
Seeing Yu Qianling's submissive attitude, the female cultivator in brocade robes flashed with smugness, glanced at her, and sneered, "Who are you trying to fool? Go and search them all!"
"Who dares!"
Yu Xuan suddenly unleashed a magic seal, blocking the path of the cultivators, and said in a deep voice, "Now, a mere Yu Rong clan dares to be so arrogant?"
